Updated 1:48 p.m. | Move over kiss-cam engagements and using a plane to write out your proposal against a clear blue sky. For the young, conservative set, the first step in making your love legal is onstage in front of hundreds of GOP delegates and thousands of political reporters.

He dropped to one knee in front of her on the stage, while "Laura Bowman, will you marry me?" flashed on the big screens. She said yes.
